Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing or placing an order through this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions in their entirety. If you do not agree, please do not use this website or submit an order. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time; continued use of the website following publication of changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.

2. Products and descriptions

We make every effort to ensure that product descriptions, specifications and prices are accurate at the time of publication. Some items — notably hand-tied flies and natural materials such as cork, wood and hackle — vary slightly from piece to piece; this is a feature of handmade tackle, not a defect.

Where colours, finishes or fine specifications are shown, slight variation between the image and the item supplied may occur. Line weights, lengths and other technical specifications are stated as accurately as possible for each product.

We reserve the right to discontinue, replace or revise any product at any time without prior notice. If a product you have ordered becomes unavailable after payment, we will contact you to arrange a substitute or full refund.

3. Pricing and payment

All prices are displayed in Euros (€) and include applicable VAT where required by law. Prices are subject to change without notice, but price changes will not affect orders already confirmed. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on destination and order weight.

Free standard shipping applies to orders with a product subtotal of €40 or more, before the application of discount codes or gift vouchers. Payment is processed at the time of order placement. We accept major credit and debit cards. Payment processing is handled by third-party providers; we do not store card details.

4. Order confirmation and cancellation

An order confirmation email constitutes acknowledgement of your order, not acceptance of a contract. We reserve the right to cancel any order at our discretion, including for reasons of pricing error, fraud suspicion or product unavailability, with full refund.

You may cancel an order without charge provided you notify us before it has been dispatched. Once an order has been packed and handed to the carrier, it can no longer be cancelled, but you retain your statutory right of return as set out below.

5. Delivery and shipping

We ship within 48 hours of order placement on standard working days. Delivery times depend on destination and carrier; estimated transit times are provided at checkout and are not guaranteed. We are not responsible for delays caused by carriers, customs, weather or other events outside our control.

Risk of loss and title to products pass to you upon delivery to the carrier. If a package is lost in transit, please contact us at hello@fluvain.com; we will work with the carrier to locate or replace the shipment at our discretion.

We currently ship to: all EU member states, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Norway and Iceland. For other destinations, please contact us directly. Some products (notably longer rod tubes) may carry an oversized-parcel surcharge to certain destinations.

6. Returns and refunds

Unused tackle in its original condition and packaging may be returned within 30 days of delivery for a full product refund, excluding shipping costs in both directions. For hygiene reasons, waders and any worn clothing must be returned unworn and unwashed with tags intact.

Custom or made-to-order items, and fly selections that have been opened or fished, cannot be returned unless faulty. Defective or damaged items will be replaced or refunded in full, including shipping, on receipt of photographic evidence of the defect or damage.

To initiate a return, contact hello@fluvain.com with your order number and reason for return. Do not return any item without first receiving a return authorisation from us.

7. Warranty & repairs

Rods, reels and other hardware are covered against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for the period stated by the maker. This warranty does not cover normal wear, misuse, accidental breakage or damage caused by improper care. Where a maker offers a repair or replacement scheme, we will help you make a claim. Consumables such as flies, tippet, leaders and floatant are not covered by warranty.
